Lenny Breau dazzled me with his extraordinary guitar playing... I wish the world had the opportunity to experience his artistry.

The melody is the most important thing that must stay in the minds of the people who listen to you. No matter how many notes you play, you can't let them forget what the song is.

I like Simon Cowell - look at how many great artists have come out of the U.K. because of him.

The first time I tried to sing along with my guitar, everybody in the studio booed. They all said it wouldn't work.

I have been doing music all my life so everyday when I get up I expect music will be part of it.

I listen to other guitar players, yeah. It gives me new concepts and shows me where the instrument is going for the future and it is going some places. There are some musicians who are really putting out a good vibe with new theories. I try and keep up.

I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest Jazz cats on the planet.
